Hi Brian,
Thanks for the link.
I have just checked my Freeview channels at 11am and I can see a significant drop in signal quality readings across all channels, resulting in no CH22 and some freezing on other channels. But CH22 was fine last night!?
I will look at getting an attenuator, but shouldn't this problem be constant rather than am/pm?

Well bizarrely I think my issue is due to my coaxial cable/connector. Whilst removing the cable I found that bending the cable in a certain direction resulted in me regaining the signal quality for CH22. Which is abit strange as I dont think I've moved/touched the RF cable since fitting my new Freeview box a few weeks ago. :o)
Ron: I believe Michael was asking towards if you have a 'Freeview HD' set-top box or tuner in your tv? Although a tv description will say 'Full HD' or 'HD Ready' this does not mean you can receive the HD channels! Your tv tuner or freeview box needs to be 'Freeview HD'. The Currys website is a good example that shows if the tv tuner is a standard 'Freeview' or a 'Freeview HD'.
Hope this helps :o)

Hi Ron, Michael,
I receive from Caradon Hill and have recently bought a Freeview HD recorder which didn't initially detect the HD channels, but I manually tuned CH22 and it picked them up and I could watch them. A couple of times I've tried watching the HD channels and I've had the 'No signal' error. Manual tuning shows good signal strength (80%) but no signal quality.
Today (Sun 14th) approx 2pm I tried the HD channels and got the blank 'No signal' but approx 5pm I could watch the HD channels and signal quality had returned to 100%!!????
Any ideas??
